Hi all,
I can't boot up my mac pro! When I try to do so I get the apple in my boot screen, then it changes to a "no entry" sign and then a flashing file folder icon with a question mark in it. I'm assuming that means there is something wrong with the OS?
I booted up from my install OS disc, but my startup disc isn't showing up in my disk utility. Well, it was initially but it isn't anymore. when i first tried to repair the disc it told me that the disc wasnt repairable and that it would need to be reformatted. So I restarted the mac in target mode and am in the process of copying one of the partitioned volumes before I do anything else. It looks like my time machine failed on me and hasn't made a backup since November... awesome.
Either way, when i try to boot back into the disk utility so I can reformat the drive, the drive doesn't appear. any thoughts? any ideas as to what my next steps should be? Thanks!
